Lettuce, cabbage and carrots – all growing in one garden bed! This raised bed coloring page shows a little gardener watering his vegetables. Grab the free printable and color the garden in fresh, leafy shades.
Why Kids Love This Vegetable Garden
The raised bed is built from wide, wood-grain boards and packed full: frilly lettuce on the left, orange carrots with leafy tops peeking out in the middle and round cabbages on the right. A boy in overalls kneels beside it, watering with a can. Behind him, vines, sunflowers and other flowers climb along the picket fence, and a coiled hose and a small garden fork lie in the grass. There are lots of medium-size spaces that kids ages 5 and up can handle with ease.

All About Raised Beds
A raised bed is a garden bed inside a tall box, usually made of wood. You can garden standing or kneeling without bending way down. It’s filled in layers: rough branches on the bottom, then leaves and compost, and good garden soil on top. As the lower layers slowly break down, the bed warms up a little, which helps veggies grow. Favorite crops include lettuce, carrots, kohlrabi and herbs.
What to Do with Your Finished Garden
Make tiny plant labels for each vegetable and glue them onto the page. In the classroom, you can plant a real mini raised bed in a wooden crate to go with it.
